Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it

I recall an escapade with three of my classmates some fifty years ago. I was on the way to the lavatory during the short 9:30 morning break when three of my classmates invited me to join them. Foolishly, without asking where they were going and for what, I hurried relieved myself and joined them. They made for the nearby bush, and again too trustingly, I followed. On and on they led the way while I followed.

The biggest boy leading the group stopped at a hut by the wayside. Together we entered and very quickly each changed his uniform for dirty and creased mufti, already there for their use. It was now real business into the deep bush, armed with machetes. It did not take me long to realize that they were on hunting expedition. Here was I, the only one in school uniform, with my parents believing that I was in the classroom learning, but actually going along hunting with three big guys. I felt I should not be where I was, but beating a retreat was out of the question. I needed no angel to tell me that they would tolerate any act of rebellion.

After some time, they stopped to ferret out whatever animal was inside the hole. The technique was to gather some dry leaves and wood, put them on the hole, and make fire, the smoke of which was directed into the hole. While one of the guys kept the fire active with a fan made of heavy leaves, the others stood at strategic points, ready to deliver deadly blows on whichever animal should pop out. Armed with a heavy stick, I was directed to a point. For a long while, nothing happened. After about half an hour, they decided to rip open the hole and pull out its occupant dead or live. They had not gone far when a huge adder surfaced. It had turned towards the opening, ready to strike. At that moment, the big boy had his hand within the serpent reach, and it struck, delivering a nasty bite.

That was it! They all fled and with them. But the closer to the school we got, the more the snake bite victim showed signs of giving up. He felt progressively weaker, and stricken arm kept swelling. Finally, he collapsed, we were just within the school premises. I ran to alert the class master. He in turn sounded the alert to some other senior masters. Within minutes, some hefty boys had been assembled to help lift the big guy to the clinic nearby. That was what saved his life, for the doctor on duty was at hand to give the needful injections, followed by an operation.

This incident, of course, let the cat out of the bag. They boy who had been bitten by the snake remained on admission for about a week. But all four of us had a bitter pill to swallow -a three-week suspension. In addition, I had to contend with the wrath of my parents.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it

The game of football appears to have global acceptance and has eclipsed all other games. What is so remarkable about this sport that it has gripped the world? All over the world, there are significant aspects of the game of football that ensure that no single player or official can work without the other for a successful match.

On the football pitch, each team of players is focused on one objective - to put the ball into the opponent's goalposts. Since a team is made up of eleven individuals, a high level of cohesion is required on each side. Managing each player's move in order to achieve their objective requires each player to blend his moves with those of the other players. The defender, the winger, the striker and the midfielder must ensure that their individual roles are harmonized, if they are to score a goal.

Moreover, each player has a specific role assigned to him on the field which is dependent on the role of the others. A player must perform this task n anticipation that other players will perform theirs. The players, thus, depend on one another to succeed. Accordingly, when a goal is scored, it is the combined efforts of all the players in the team that have produced the goal, not just the striker. This explains why in football, it is necessary for each player to rely on the other.

There is, also, the referee whose decisions constitute the final authority on the field. No matter who you are, whether a player or a coach, you cannot defy a referee's decision. It is this aspect of the game that ensures that matches do not end up in chaos. Even though they sometimes do, there is order because all participants have to obey the referee.

This game can teach society some lessons. A society is made up of people with diverse occupations. Each person's role is necessary to ensure society runs smoothly. No one person can live independently of other members. There is, therefore, a need for cohesion and harmony. This can be achieved only if these diverse occupations are organized around a coordinated order. Each person's occupation is of little significance on its own. But it becomes helpful to society only if it is harmonized with others to produce an integrated whole. This is how society benefits from hum diversity.

Each player in society is dependent on another person just as it happens in the game of football. A person can function properly only because someone else has created an opportunity for them to excel. Individuals cannot excel if the other people refuse to support them. This is how society works. Members depend on one another.

A society can degenerate into a wild ungovernable space, if there is no recognized authority, Given the passion and frenzy associated with football, it is amazing that there isn't much rioting at football events. There is order. There is civil behaviour, even when one team loses. Order prevails because everyone accepts that the governing rules of the game must be obeyed. This is what society needs to recognized.
